Valgus means medial
Varus means lateral Look for the "R" in both words. Examples: Genu valgus means "know-knees" as they go medially. Varus stress test is named so because you put lateral stress on the leg of a partially flexed knee to see if there's knee lateral ligament tear. Here's an excellent video of the varus stress test |

maybe this just works for my brain.. i spell it - Genu va ll gus... and i think of both the l's as legs put together. .. so knock knees ( knees together)
by default varus is the opposite. |
